Hi Folks.
Today's OpenSSL releases 1.0.1n and 1.0.2b introduce ABI gremlins.
Specifically, the HMAC_CTX stucture has a new "key_init" field of type
integer:
--- a/crypto/hmac/hmac.h
+++ b/crypto/hmac/hmac.h
@@ -75,6 +75,7 @@ typedef struct hmac_ctx_st {
EVP_MD_CTX o_ctx;
unsigned int key_length;
unsigned char key[HMAC_MAX_MD_CBLOCK];
+ int key_init;
} HMAC_CTX;
This issue was identified by Dan McDonald of OmniOS (an illumos
distribution) after their version of SSH (based on OpenSSH) broke. [1]
I've quickly reviewed things in OpenSSH and it seems to impact versions
4.7 through 6.5 inclusive (kex.h,v 1.62 makes it a NOP [2]).
Just a friendly heads up...
